This is Poseidon









Here are some facts about Poseidon



  • Poseidon is the father Polyphemus, a Cyclops whose eye was destroyed by the raider Odysseus while Odysseus was plundering Cyclops Island. Because of this, Poseidon punished Odysseus. Odysseus lost all of his men and ship while on the Mediterranean
  • Poseidon's symbol of power is the trident. When the gods went to war against the Titans, the gods freed the Cyclops from their prison. In return, the Cyclops gave Zeus the master bolt, Hades the helm of darkness, and Poseidon got a trident. The trident allowed Poseidon to summon natural disasters when he felt the need to.
  • Poseidon is the ruler of the Mediterranean Sea as well as all of the water. All creatures that lived under the sea had to obey him. If they did not obey him, he would smite them with his trident.
  • When Poseidon was born, Kronos at him and his siblings. Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades, and Zeus are his siblings. Zeus is the only one that was not eaten by Kronos. Kronos had eaten them because, he did not want the prophecy to come the true.
  • Poseidon's reputation was bad when it came to women. When he saw Amphitrite, a sea nymph, he started to assault her. She fled. Poseidon could not find her. He asked Dolphaunos, god of the dolphins, to find her. He searched high and low and eventually found her. He explained Poseidon's actions. She came back and married Poseidon. They had a son named Trident.
  • Poseidon was caught in a love triangle. Athena, goddess of wisdom and strategy, loved Poseidon. Unfortunately, Poseidon was in love with the gorgon Medusa.
  • When the Olympians, the supreme rulers of the earth, drew lots after they overthrew the titans and claimed Mount Olympus. This is where they drew their lots. Poseidon drew second and after Zeus claimed the sky he claimed the ocean.
  • Poseidon is the son of Kronos and Rhea. Kronos had swallowed Poseidon but Zeus, his brother, saved him by making a mixture that forced Kronos the throw up the godly children.
  • Poseidon raped Medusa, a gorgon, in the temple of Athena. This infuriated Athena so she punished Medusa, because Athena liked Poseidon. She put a curse on her which made anyone who looked in her eyes turn to stone.
  • Poseidon got into a dispute with Athena over Athens, Greece. Poseidon gave the people a well groomed war horse. Athena gave them an olive tree for peace. The people picked Athena to be there god, so Poseidon got angry about it.

My song reflects Poseidon's attitude. Changing, fast, unpredictable, angry.
